Ald. Anthony Napolitano is urging Chicagoans to support the Chicago police Department during National Police Week, which started Sunday.

Residents are encouraged to pick up blue balloons, ribbons or porch lights from his 41st Ward office to show solidarity with the city’s police force. Items are available for free through Friday.

Vittorio noted that the initiative was receiving a “huge response.”

“Now, more than ever it's time to show appreciation for the hard work our police officers do and honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our City,” Napolitano Chief of Staff Chris Vitorrio told Ward Room.
